While memorizing the sigil, I got an image of what seemed to be a 
river between two lands. It was rather narrow along most of its 
length, but spread into a circular lake towards one end. And as the 
waters left the lake again, they spread out into very many small 
channels, like those in a river delta. This picture then became more 
abstract, the river banks turning into two lines like long-handled 
spoons with the hollows of their bowls facing each other. Power seemed 
to flow like water between the lines along the narrow portion; upon 
reaching the hollow between the "bowls", it pooled, and then sprayed 
out the gap at the end in a triangular spray of fine drops.
Invoked Tiarpax according to the revised method.
A voice said: "Is this the Sun among us, who shines with the glory 
of God, yet to the Earth is as a light of comfort? Who among us would 
have this light for his own, let him only look up, and it shall shine 
upon him. 
"To no one in the world is it denied. Nay, even if he shall be in 
the caves of the Earth, it shall shine and warm him, giving hope in 
despair, encouragement in seeking, joy and life everlasting in the 
finding.  
"This is the Sun who lights the Earth, giving to her elements the 
spirit that binds and raises them."
While this was said I was surrounded in vision by shimmering 
curtains of light, like auroras brought down to earth, constantly in 
motion.
"Would you penetrate the curtains the divide the Earth from the 
Sun, o men? (Not you, o seer.) It is easy; simply become like the Sun, 
giving of yourself without thought of self, or of return. No other way 
is as quick, or as certain. For the light of the Sun is the Love that 
encompasses all without exception, giving freely; not because it desires 
return, or desires to be raised up by others, but simply because its 
nature is to do so. 
"If you make distinctions among those to whom you would give, then 
there is failure. For to distinguish is to exclude, and the Sun excludes 
none; neither does it make any difference between one thing or another. 
It shines, as it is said, on the just and the unjust, on the sinner and 
the saint, on the man and on the woman. Therefor do you also, if you 
would rise into his realm.
"Now rend those curtains before you, o mage."
I performed the sign of Rending the Veil. And suddenly before me 
stood the Great Table of the Elements, but as I had never seen it 
before. The Table had multiplied itself in all directions, forming a 
lattice that filled all space and time. And each square of all those 
Tables (which were still one Table) was a living world in itself. And it 
seemed that every one of that near-infinite number of squares was 
connected to my own body; not a one of them was left out, and no part of 
my being remained unconnected to them. Similarly each was connected to 
some aspect of the Earth, with not one aspect left unconnected. Soon the 
difference between body and squares diminished, and it seemed that there 
was nothing but the Table, the activity in its squares, and a mysterious 
aware "something" that bound them together.
I remained in this state for quite a while; I didn't count the 
minutes.
"Do you understand the concept of sacrifice, o men? When the 
divine threw down into matter those sparks of itself that became men and 
women, it was not a fall. There was no sin involved, no rejection of the 
divine. How could that be? For they were the divine itself. And when 
those souls further threw themselves into matter, again it was not for 
rejection of that which is above, but for the saving of that which is 
below. 
"Every life of every man and woman who has ever lived has been a 
sacrificial act, aimed at the saving of the matter of the world. 
'Saving' in the sense of bringing it out of the state of inert 
negativity into a state of activity; then bringing it into a state of 
alignment with the divine will. And eventually, bringing it into a state 
where it is itself indistinguishable from the divine. Many aeons of time 
will this last task take; and all the men and women of Earth will be 
long gone to other realms before it is done. But it is begun here, and 
much has been accomplished.
"Every man and every woman is a savior, whether they will it or 
not, whether they know it or not. Every act that takes place within the 
worlds of Earth is a saving act, serving that purpose no matter what it 
seems to them. Those who are selfish, even those who are exclusively 
evil in their acts, they still serve this end. Their mere presence, as 
suns within the world, serves to make them so. By binding themselves to 
matter they bring the light to it, within the limits of their individual 
power; they raise up that matter, teach it to remain in an active state, 
make it more responsive to future acts of the divine will. And so it

shall go.
"Now, you have known in past times that certain portions of the 
Tablets of Enoch are dedicated to the purpose of saving matter, of 
bringing it into a spiritually active state as described. And in another 
did you see -- and act upon -- the certainty that the Tablets as a whole 
are dedicated to the Great Work. Is not your tower of light founded upon 
this notion?
"Yet be aware that the Tablets as a whole, the Great Table, take, 
in a sense, the position of the Sun with respect to the worlds of Earth. 
Just as the sun shines down upon all from above, so too are the powers 
of the Tablets a light that penetrates the earth at all points, but does 
not originate therein. The angels touch the earth, but they are not of 
the earth; their realms connect to it along a dimension that does not 
impinge greatly upon the events that take place there, but only upon the 
energies that support those events.
"This is a difficult saying, I know. Let me try again. 
"The Tablets and their angels and powers, they are the distributed 
and elaborated form of a divine concern for the earth that is, in its 
essence, a great, singular, solar Love. The power of that Love is freely 
given to men, without conditions set thereupon; they may take it and 
make use of it as they will. The one who created the Tablets and Calls 
is like the sun described yesterday; it makes no distinctions upon whom 
it shines, nor does it seek anything in return. 
"Yet those who use the Tablets and Calls, as you have done, 
inevitably find themselves being touched by that being's Love, and they 
become (each within their momentary limits) the vehicles and channels of 
that love; as it is said, pouring down the fires of life and increase 
continually upon the earth. The greatest of them become identified with 
that Love, and with the one who expresses it; they seek to become as 
that being, making themselves over into gods, seeking to create, in 
their own ways, an equivalently powerful expression. Have you not done 
this yourself, in your recent previsions?"
(The Voice speaks of some thoughts I have had -- really visions of 
possibility -- in which I had thought of means of bringing down the 
divine light into the world in such a way that it would bypass all the 
constrictions that existing structures in the four worlds place upon 
powers that pass through them. I was trying to find a way to bring that 
power directly into the roots of things, so that they would be 
illuminated from within, so to speak. Not until this moment had I 
connected these thoughts with the way the Enochian god has set up its 
creation, though my ideas were the same in essence.)
"As to whether and how you will succeed in your seeking, I know 
not; it is not within my power, or that of any in this place, to see. 
"Continue on in your exploration of the Parts. There is much more 
to be seen in coming weeks and months.
"We are done, and bid you to fare well."
Seer's comments:
Tiarpax connects with the city of Alexandreia Oxiana, which lies 
on the Oxus river between the ancient regions of Bactriana (see Part 13) 
and Sogdiana, current-day Uzbekistan. The Oxus drains west into the Aral 
sea, and Oxiana is rather far from the river's delta, so the opening 
image could not relate directly to the physical properties of the 
region. However, the city was one of Alexander the Great's easternmost 
outposts, intended to be a mustering and jump-off point for conquests 
further to the east. Perhaps the images relate to the flows of men into 
and out of the city, rather than to flows of water.
The presentation that follows the image is clearly related to the 
path of Sol in Achad's Tree, and is probably our final visit to that 
path is this series, assuming the close connection between Tree and 
Parts continues. The zodiacal king, Zinggen, is related to Pisces in the 
attributes being used for this work, and his influence probably accounts 
for the concentration on the Love aspect of Sol, and the avoidance of 
the more common Kingly symbolism.
The presentation is unusual for being almost entirely verbal, with 
only one image in the body of the "vision". There were a great deal of 
unrecorded non-verbal, non-image-like perceptions in the background, but 
these related mostly to my personal work.
Sometimes profound truths become so common that they are 
trivialized in the public mind. More intelligent persons reject them as 
platitudinous, outmoded, or evidencing lack of thought among those who 
propound them. In our time this has happened to the idea of love as a 
means of spiritual achievement, especially among those in process of 
separating themselves from the burden of Christian thought. It is 
perceived as "white-light fuzzy bunny" spirituality, suitable only for 
"small" or relatively "unevolved" souls.
But this is not the case in fact. No less a personage than Lao Tzu 
recommends precisely this method as the means of achieving the highest 
spiritual states:

    Men and women who wish to be aware of the whole truth 
     should adopt the practices of the Integral Way.
    These time-honored disciplines calm the mind and bring 
     one into harmony with all things.
    The first practice is the practice of undiscriminating 
     virtue: take care of those who are deserving; and 
     also, equally take care of those who are not.
    When you extend your virtue in all directions without 
     discriminating, your feet are firmly planted on the 
     path that returns to the Tao.
                  -- Lao Tzu, _Hua_Hu_Ching_
Magicians should consider just what it is they seek out of initiation. 
Isn't it the achievement of states of being ever closer to the 
"positive" pole of existence? Some might perceive that achievement in 
terms of increasing power over events, others in terms of union with 
the divine, others yet in terms of increasingly inclusive perceptions 
of the nature of existence. Yet in every case it is movement towards 
that pole that is the means.
And what is the state described here but the achievement of a 
_completely_ positive relationship to existence? Power flows outwards 
without conditions or expectation of return. Exclusiveness, specificity, 
and expectation of return are all aspects of the "negative", receiving 
pole of being. To the extent that one of us wants a particular result 
from our use of power, wants to gain something for oneself out of a 
magickal act, to precisely that extent one is separated from the 
achievement of the ultimate positive spiritual state.

Sound's good to me, ok, to get the ball rolling, could you give me
your thoughts on what Enochian Magick is all about..I have an idea,
but no direct focus on its origin, culture, etc....Reason for asking,
WeLL im a solitar practitioner, and dont realy have that much contact,
